I'm Looking for a Performer

I'm looking for a performer. A comedian or actor. Although not actively. Not quite yet. Just passively. Keeping my eyes peeled. I mention it here just on the off chance someone stumbles across it.

For some reason, I've found myself watching a lot of Daily Show and Colbert Report recently. Probably the US elections. The formula's pretty simple: five minutes of jokes, then a (usually toe-curling) interview. The BBC's Late Edition was a fairly accurate copy, albeit way more hit-and-miss. And now I'd like to try my own on the internet.

Of course, I wouldn't dream of sticking myself in front of the camera. Apart from always feeling uncomfortable, I simple haven't got the talent. Mind you, I see myself writing the thing and I certainly don't appear to have the talent for that. I've started another blog at hereisthenews.tumblr.com with the intention of posting short snappy jokes. So far, nothing. But give it time.

Anyway, this post is really more for me, to try and spur me into action. Although if anyone else reads this and is interested, drop me a message.

Apparently it was Russell Brand claiming responsibility for Bristol's sprog.
